Chapter 304 Entrustment

"How?"

“……”

Seeing that this manager didn't speak, just looked at the legendary watch in his hand, Fang Yuanshan smiled and said nothing. The more the manager looks like this, the more attractive the watch is. If he behaves carelessly, then he will have to worry.

Just held it in his hand and looked at it for ten minutes, and finally this Manager Xu reacted, looked at Fang Yuanshan and said embarrassedly: "I'm sorry, this watch is so legendary, I can't help but fall into it, please Mr. Fang Haihan!"

"It's okay, it's okay. ”

Manager Xu looked at the watch in the box again, saw the traces of treatment on it, frowned and said: "That's the case, this watch has not been handled carefully enough, and the long-term immersion in seawater may cause a lot of damage to its interior, we have to treat it professionally, I don't know Mr. Fang's ......"

This morning, when he was at the airport, he bought a book on the history of watches, which contained a detailed introduction from "Breguet" about this "watch of the Queen of Naples".

Through the archives, Fang Yuanshan knew that this was a chiming watch, and it was the most common quarter-hour chiming watch in Breguet design at that time, with a relatively rare elongated design, and the manufacturing records showed that this watch had a lever escapement and thermometer, which was exactly the same as the shape of Fang Yuanshan's watch.

All 17 people whose names are used to make this watch are recorded and are completed in 34 separate processes. At the request of the Queen of Naples, Breguet replaced the engraved gold dial with an engraved silver dial. And this part is also in line with the material characteristics of his watch.

Records also show that the dial of the watch was inlaid with Arabic numerals, which were common on enamel dials at the time, but extremely rare on gold or silver dials. When he saw this, Fang Yuanshan's heart was settled.

Everything told Fang Yuanshan that his watch was the "Watch of the Queen of Naples", the world's first wrist watch.

Although yesterday at Sam Yang learned the exact origin of this watch. And it's worth hundreds of millions, but Fang Yuanshan is still a little dizzy and unbelievable. It's like picking up a tattered "Big Brother" phone on the side of the road, and then people tell you that "it" is the world's first mobile phone and worth a lot of money, which is very unreliable.

Hearing the manager's question, Fang Yuanshan spoke: "Of course, you are professionals. I'll leave it to you, and I'll rest assured. But can I ask something?"

"Mr. Fang, please speak. ”

He asked embarrassedly: "Yesterday in Xiahai, Sam Yang Manager has already told me, he said that this legendary watch can be worth 100 million US dollars, I don't know ......"

"You can rest assured, if Mr. Fang is willing to hand over this watch to us Poly to operate, we guarantee that we will not take a penny, and all the costs will be borne by our Poly. I just hope that Mr. Fang, you can cooperate with our publicity. ”

This Manager Xu seemed to have misinterpreted Fang Yuanshan's meaning, he thought that Fang Yuanshan was asking about commissions, so he made this guarantee without hesitation.

"Uh...... As long as it's not for me to be a nude model, nothing else. After saying that, he touched his nose curtly. Originally, he wanted to ask how much the watch was worth. I can't ask now.

It seems that the watch is going to stay for the time being, but no one will casually hand over these valuable things to a company that he just met, and Fang Yuanshan has no time to wait here slowly.

After the two sides discussed, Fang Yuanshan found "John Chen", the person in charge of the "Citigroup" Bank in Xiangjiang, and they used all these things as a guarantee, and the bank sent a special person to escort them every day, and then escorted them back to the bank in the evening. Moreover, it has invested 100 million US dollars in short-term high-value insurance for the "Legend Watch", and the underwriter is "Citibank" and the insurer is "Poly Xiangjiang"!

Fang Yuanshan actually knew what Manager Xu meant, and the advent of such a "legendary watch" must have caused a huge sensation. Then the eyes of the whole world will be focused. Poly Auction has been moving closer to the hegemon of the world auction industry over the years, and now it just lacks an opportunity.

Now Fang Yuanshan has sent this "Watch of the Queen of Naples". If nothing else, the eyes of the world's watchmaking giants will surely be drawn to it, and it will be a battle of dragons and tigers.

Think about it, what kind of slap in the face would it be if the "Breguet" thing was put in their own company by "Rolex" or "Louis Vuitton" for people to visit? So "Nicholas Hayeyer", the head of the "Swatch" group, would definitely buy this watch back and had to buy it!~

What kind of honor is it that such an auction event, which will go down in history, is now being held by them Poly, and how many intangible benefits will it bring to them?

As for the fine gold coins, they have now become a kind of foil. And more than 90% of them are ordinary goods and are not qualified to be auctioned. So after discussing with Fang Yuanshan, Poly helped him deal with those gold coins, and picked out the fine ones to auction with those pieces of jewelry.

After finishing the "big thing" of the watch, his heart was temporarily relieved. Since yesterday when he heard that this watch was worth 100 million US dollars, his heart began to suffer from gains and losses.

The watch was fished out of the sea. He himself knew it was fine. But the truth is not the main thing, the legend of the "Watch of the Queen of Naples" is legendary, and the identity is noble enough. However, there is a problem inside, the watch is too tattered, the dial is full of black water vapor, and you can only roughly see the Arabic numerals on it, and the gold thread on the bracelet has also turned into a pitch-black thread, which will fall off when you touch it twice......

Ordinary people don't buy antiques to appreciate them? At least you look good! Not to mention anything else, how many tattered antiques can be sold for a large price? But he was worried that Manager Xu gave him a perfect explanation.

"The symbolism of this watch is greater than the actual meaning, no matter how bad it is, as long as it can be proved that it is the "watch of the Queen of Naples", it doesn't matter what else, there are a lot of people who are willing to buy it back and worship it, just to see it every day. ”

After this matter was dealt with, Fang Yuanshan and Locke and a few of their big men went shopping. Tsim Sha Tsui, Tong Luo Bend, Wangjiao, Oil Marti, the group went around in a circle.

Most of the post-80s people have watched the Xiangjiang Gu Confused Boy movie, and the grievances and hatreds and bloody brotherhood in it once made Fang Yuanshan very obsessed. But in these familiar places, Fang Yuanshan didn't see the ancient boy in the TV movie, with a big gold chain, a cigarette in his mouth, and flip-flops on his feet.

Fang Yuanshan didn't have any ideas, mainly because the memories of his childhood were too unforgettable, and he was very disappointed that he didn't see those "big guys".

"Xiao Gao, where did you say those big brothers have gone? Why haven't I seen any of them?"

Yuan Gaoyang, who was holding a string of fish balls next to him and eating deliciously, was stunned for a moment, showed a bright smile and said, "Is the boss talking about the person of "Hongxing"?"

"That's right!"

"I really want to know?"

"Nonsense, don't you want to know what I'm going to take you here? I'm not going to Ocean Park? I'm not going to Lan Kwai Fong?"

"Okay, follow me. ”
